Finding rehearsal marks
I tried using R to find rehearsal marks and it didn't seem to work properly. It wasn't finding rehearsal marks that start with R, using RR1 to find rehearsal mark R1. I may be tired or going insane or something. I want this verified before I open a bug report. I tried it in 2.1, 2.2.1 and Marc's build for 2.3 that has the improved panning in continuous view.

This a by design. Same for rehearsal marks starting with P, as the first p is interpreted as meaning Page . I've amended the handbook accordingly, see https://musescore.org/en/handbook/rehearsal-marks#search.

As of version 2.1 all rehearsal marks can be searched for by typing an "r" followed by the rehearsal mark.

◦To go to a numerical rehearsal mark (esp. one that does not match the measure number), enter the number using the format rXX (where XX is the rehearsal mark. To find a rehearsal mark that starts with "R" use rrXX. To find a rehearsal mark that starts with "P" and continues with a number, use rpXX). This works starting with version 2.1.
◦To go to a page, enter the page number using the format pXX (where XX is the page number; this also means that prior to version 2.1 you won't find a rehearsal mark that starts with "P" and continues with a number).

MS 2.2.1, 51b8386 / Win 10.
The instructions JJS added to the handbook don't seem to work. If there is more than one rehearsal mark starting with "p" or "r," only the first mark can be found using the search box.

Or course. What else would you expect? If you have a rehearsal mark M1 and another M2, searching for m finds m1, as does searching for rm. Same for rehearsal marks starting with p or r, only that there you always need to prefix with r.
All this since 2.1, prior to that you couldn't search at all for rehearsal marks staring with a number
And before you never could search for rehearsal marks starting with p.

If you have a sequence of rehearsal marks, M1, M2 , M3, there is no problem. But if you have a sequence that goes R1, R2, R3, or P1, P2, P3, the search function only seems to find the first R or first P.

You mean searching "m" repeatedly finds "M1", "M2" and "M3", but searching "rr" repeatedly does only file "R1"? Well, there is no repeated search, searching form m finds m1, as does searching for p finds p1, and r finds r1 and p finds p1, but indeed rp* or rr*, don't find anything. Not quite what is intended to happen.
The code is in mscore/searchComboBox.cpp, lines 31-67

Typing "M1" finds M1
Typing "M2" finds M2 etc.
Typing "R1" finds R1
But type "R2" and you still get R1
Type "rr2" and you still get R1.
In summary, only the first mark beginning with "p" or "r" is found, no matter what you type in the search box.

Have you tried this in 2.2.1?
(That is, typing rpXX into the Go To box.)
It seems to me that not only rrXX, but also rpXX, do not work.
In other words, rehearsal marks beginning with 'R' or 'P' cannot be found using the Go To bar.

And that too is by design and documented.
I once (back in June 2016) experimented with some code ready to also search for sections, which would use the letter "s" and to search for relative measure numbers (measure number within a section, prefixed with #), I still have it somewhere, maybe I polish it up and submit a PR for this.

To find a rehearsal mark that starts with "R" use rrXX. To find a rehearsal mark that starts with "P" and continues with a number, use rpXX). This works starting with version 2.1.
From https://musescore.org/en/handbook/rehearsal-marks#search
To find a rehearsal mark starting with "r", enter "rr", to find one starting with "p", enter "rp".
Have you tried doing any of the above in 2.2.1?
Regards.

@Jojo,
The handbook says that the design of the find function find rrxx is to find a rehearsal mark that is n the form R##. The problem I was having was using RR1 and RR2 in the search box was always leading me to the first rehearsal mark that starts with R, no matter what it might be. The R and P options were added to the find function because rehearsal marks starting with P and R were not able to be found. I was testing to see if the Spanish translation worked the same and it didn't. So I went to an English version and it still didn't. Others are now verifying that the search function for rehearsal marks does not work properly if the rehearsal mark starts with R. It also does not find all rehearsal marks starting with P.
It seems the handbook was just wrong about finding rehearsal marks that begin with letters R and P. I looked back at issue (#105256: Find a numerical rehearsal mark using Ctrl-F) and there was discussion about the letters, but nothing was actually done about it. The handbook should be updated to show that rr will always find only the first "R" rehearsal mark and rp will only find the first "P" rehearsal mark.

For me (Windows 10), typing r finds the first "R" rehearsal mark. The second r is not needed.
Also, typing rp does not find a "P" rehearsal mark at all - regardless if first "P" or any other.

You are correct, I made the mistake of putting the first "R" and "P" on the same pages.
As Jojo states:
but indeed rp or rr, don't find anything. Not quite what is intended to happen.
Yes!
Mike320 only mentions 'RR'.
'RP' is also broken.
Regards.
